Component 2, upgrading other rural infrastructure systems to ensure operation during the flood season (more than 31km). The project is implemented in 5 communes of Cu Lao Tay in Thanh Binh district.

However, up to now the project has not been supplemented with this ODA capital. Therefore, the People's Committee of Dong Thap province is requesting the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Planning and Investment to consider, soon synthesize, and advise and submit to the Prime Minister for consideration and arrangement of additional VND 100 billion in ODA capital in 2024 for localities to soon implement the project (project will end on December 31, 2024).
